This is not a bug at all, but just the way several features combined.

As you point out, one of the reasons for that is blowout. Blowout means that no starter will play in the fourth quarter.

Second, the backup SF had 5 fouls, which is enough to qualify as being in foul trouble in the fourth quarter. Therefore, he was pulled, and the reserve at the position were subbed in.

After some time, the third reserve got tired, so he had to be replaced: but he couldn't be replaced by the starter (blowout), or the backup (foul trouble). In cases like this the coach usually pulls the most suitable player from the ones that are on a roster, but are unassigned.

The reason why this pick happens? Again, all starters are off limits because of the blowout, and all the backups are already on the court, so all that's left is unassigned players.

Hope this made some sense.

This week´s trainning to the rubbish :(
I´ve played my scrimmage and what happened with my centers was more than strange. I set "Strictly Follow Depth Chart" and my starter center played 47 min (he his a SG and his stamina is level 7), and my backup center played 1 min (he´s usually the starter) :||||||.

I have been playing almost 3 seasons and this is the first time that a backup player plays less than 8-9 mins.

The result: My SG has played 98 min this week and the C 36 ----> Stupid Trainning :(

PS: i checked the lineup so I didn´t make any mistake.

Yep, this is what we pretty much assumed in BB Suomi forum.

In this particular case there was no reserve set (or either the starter or backup was set as reserve), so the third and fourth player were both unassigned players.

The question remains: How to tackle this? Is it enough to not have any unassigned players, so the coach would have to play the guy in foul trouble -- or will he then simply select a player from another position (and effectively not strictly follow the depth chart)?

i've heard something like that happening before already but now the game engine totally messed up my game plan also. two of the players that i set in starting five did not start and they only got couples minutes of play time. I checked if i myself was wrong by using the same game plan in my other mach and then it was all ok. as i said it is not the first time it has happened. i wonder if someone could fix that problem

Hi,

In my last game i used as Substitutions:

Depth Chart unitl 4th.

I put my best player as PG Backup. Surprisingly he appears as a starter PG.

Before 4th period starts I was winning by 40 points. All my starters went to the bench but him continues to play...it seems that the program consider him as a Backup (although he has the "S" from starter).

My match was: (6948421)

Hope this helps catching the bug,

Byes

Not sure if the bug is related to the new game engine or to the 'depth chart until 4th' selection but here is the story (todays scrimmage (8147986):
- Cinelli, selected as PF backup was in fact set as starter (with the 's' next to his name) and played 33 minutes.
- Onnis, the C starter played only 17 minutes and his backup Moya 31 (23 minutes at the end of the 3rd quarter), with no problems of fouls whatsoever (Onnis finished the game with 0 fouls). Moya entered after only 45 seconds of game and started the 2nd and 3rd quarter.

No mistake from my side, as I can verify the tactics chosen by loading them for a future game.

Not nice the week before the PO finals!

Same thing happened to me.... I definetly set another lineup for my match and I checked it more than once. Now I will have a very big problem with the gameshape next week... I dont care about the loss today, but the gamechape makes me angry. I don't know if there is anything that could be done.
